	Offering Helping Hand to Abuse Victims Standard-Freeholder December 13, 2009 http://www.standard-freeholder.com/ArticleDisplay.aspx?e=2214625 The province has added a co-ordinator to handle the transition of healing services for victims who started treatment through the Cornwall Public Inquiry. Ontario Attorney General Chris Bentley confirmed to media this week the province will continue to help victims after funding dries up 30 days following the release of Tuesday's final report for the inquiry. Details have yet be made available, but Bentley told CBC news that "...We're going to be taking a very close look and following up with each and every individual to get them what they require."About 400 people in Cornwall have used counselling services available through the inquiry. Two-thirds were alleged victims, while the remaining third are people who've dealt with victims. The inquiry was launched in 2006 to examine allegations of historical sexual abuse in Cornwall and the possibility of a pedophile ring.
